So long boy, you can take my place Got my papers, I've got my pay So pack my bags and I'll be on my way To Yellow River Put my gun down, the war is won Fill my gla** high, the time has come I'm going back to the place that I love Yellow River Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my blood, it's the place I love Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon At Yellow River Cannon fire lingers in my mind I'm so glad I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time From Yellow River I remember the nights were cool I can still see the water pool And I remember the girl that I knew From Yellow River Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my blood, it's the place I love Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon At Yellow River Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my blood, it's the place I love
